I managed to finally get wirless working well with the Windows driver. Frisbee now
comes up and makes the wlan0 connection quickly at startup. I can confirm that
power management on wlan0 is off by default. I haven't experienced any symptoms
of the wireless bug. I haven't yet booted up enough times to say anything about
the black screen bug but so far I haven't seen it.

So it certainly looks like the 3.7.2 kernel is free of the wireless bug! Hooray! I plan to
just use 3.7.2 every day for awhile to see if any issues arise.

Sorry about the download link. I have had to remove my previous work heavily due to disk space requirements. I have had generous permission from smokey01 to upload to the site. Now there has been need to restrict the load. So...I have removed a lot stuff from there. But...it was not meant to remove this build. I am uploading it atm again. I am so grateful that I have had opportunity to upload to the smokey01.com that I dont want to spoil it.

About PAE 3.7.2 kernel. Probably not going to do it. I just dont have enough time to do all those things I would like to.

I am atm trying to create working dpup wheezy, and the progress has been good. Soon there is time to update Upup Precise builds, when Barry Kauler announces 'woof plateau' time. Then I believe Barry uploads next Precise Puppy and I try follow with my enhancement builds. So...one person....one life...many things to do.

I used this build mostly before I changed to the Dpup Wheezy builds. I am delighted that it behaves with people.

I posted about this on the Users section of the Forum and thought I'd mention it here
as well. This concerns the fact that I must use my Windows wireless driver and a
situation where it wasn't being loaded automatically at startup. I was forced into a
clumsy procedure to get connected each startup.

I placed the line:
modprobe ndiswrapper
in the file /etc//rc.d/rc.sysinit
down near the end and just before the lines concerning wireless.

Since I have three or four Exprimo (Squeeze) installs plus Precise 3.7.2 on this old Athlon XP box I've been doing some fairly in-depth comparison testing.Considering resource usage,kernel version,etc. I've concluded that if I had to choose only one version to leave on this box I'd choose Precise 3.7.2.
Works fine and no problems even worth mentioning. You build a good distro.

Just purely for informational purposes....... Tried to install Precise 3.7.2 on another one of my boxes and it's a total no go.Personally not worried about it but decided to let you know.
Boots to a desktop fine with an internet connection but rather quickly freezes and the display distorts leading to a hard poweroff. Tried booting pfix=nox and using "vesa"..... X wouldn't start. "Nouveau" gets a desktop but freezes with the distorted display.
Pretty sure it's not a hardware problem.....box runs Mageia, SolusOS. Lucid,Slacko, Macpup and Windows 7.
